The experience of wine tasting Sonoma's world-renown wine artistry is conveniently available right near the beach. Armida Winery's tasting room bridges the refinement of aficionado culture with Capitola's fun and laid-back atmosphere. Because of the knowledgeable and friendly wine servers, who grace the establishment with down-to-earth personalities, weekends are lively and happening in this tasting room.
The winery's reputation for hand-crafted excellence has garnered scores in the 90's from Wine Spectator, plus gold medal winners in very prestigious competitions like the California State Fair Wine Competition, Best of the Bay Zin Challenge at the Alameda County Fair, Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, and the Orange County Fair Wine Competition.
For gift possibilities, the allure of Armida's wines appeals to several different palates and personalities. Just take a look at their flagship wine, Poizin: an award-winning blend of the winery's best zinfandels--unique hand-painted bottles with an eye-catching skull & crossbones design--and a little wooden coffin to hold the bottle. In addition to the wide selection of wine varietals, gift possibilities at Armida Winery include wine filled chocolates, clothing and apparel with an urban/hip/contemporary flare, fun magnets and club memberships.
Armida Winery's Capitola tasting room is located in the scenic Capitola Village, where one central location allows visitors to shop, dine, and relax on the beach. The Village is also a prime vacation hot-spot for renting out a beach condo. It's no wonder why this picturesque atmosphere just epitomizes the culture and natural beauty that has made Capitola a world-renown destination.
